Beginner, ranked fifth among the chapters, sold an exaggerated 82.6989 copies in its first week. It was ranked first in sales that week. If I remember correctly, it should be ranked ninth in the first-week sales ranking of history at that time. The top 120 in this historical first-week sales ranking were all monsters like Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru, and Mr. Children. The first place was Mr. Children's Unknown Poem, which sold more than million copies in the first week.
So the protagonist group really took advantage of the fact that the big guys didn’t release any new songs.
Volume 2 Dream Girl
Chapter 1: Belisa's New Plan
The agency of Tian Beilisha, which was not located in the theater but somewhere else, was called on November 11, which was the third day after the release of the Oricon Weekly Chart.
"Nana-chan, what do you think teacher Amagai is calling us here for?"
Yongan Meixi looked nervously at the closed door in front of her. There was a sign on it with the words "Tenbei Office" written on it.
"She must have some strange thoughts again. After all, isn't Teacher Amagai always like this?" Miyamoto Se smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Anyway, we haven't made any mistakes recently, so she shouldn't take advantage of us."
"Pfft!" It was Komatsu Mika who couldn't hold back her laughter. She turned her face away, her shoulders trembling slightly, and it took her a while to recover: "Unspoken rules or something like that, it's not that serious, it's really not that serious, she's not a lesbian."
There were only three of them who were called over. Miyamoto Sei was also curious about what Tenbelisa was planning to do. Obviously, she couldn't have called them for no reason, and came to a place that was no longer a theater.
The door was opened at this time. A capable woman in OL clothes came in. She smiled professionally at the three people and said, "Come in, please."
"Hmm..." Miyamoto Seo's expression seemed a little embarrassed. It was obvious that the conversation between the few people just now had been heard, otherwise he would not have opened the door before knocking.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Tian Belisa looking at me with a smile.
"Do you need me to take advantage of you?"
"I'm really sorry, I was too arrogant. Please don't be like this. I believe you are a good person, Mr. Tianbei!"
Bowing, apologizing, and being sincere, everything was done in one go, leaving the people present stunned. This whole operation was so skillful.
"Okay, you can go out now." Tian Belisa said to the woman, and the woman walked out directly and closed the door.
"Please sit down." Tian Belisa pointed to the chairs in the room. The chairs were placed casually near the table. The three of them sat down on them without any hesitation.
"Is there something you want to talk to us about?" The one who asked the question was Mika Komatsu. Her attitude was very natural, and there was no intention of being servile. She was simply asking about the other party's purpose.
"Yes, we have a performance in an hour, and we also have performances tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We are a bit rushed."
Miyamoto Seo also spoke to Amarisa Tenbe, because they were really in a hurry and it would take more than twenty minutes to go back by subway.
In addition to preparations and so on, it must be done as soon as possible.
Yongan Meixi sat aside, looking at her two companions who did not seem to have much respect for Tenbelisa. She was surprised but did not dare to say anything. She could only watch them silently.
"It's actually very simple. It's about your promotion." Tian Beilisha looked at the three of them with a smile.
Her words surprised all three of them, but the degree of their surprise was different.
Komatsu Mika looked like this, as if she had already felt that she would be promoted to a formal member, while Yongan Miyu looked very surprised, as if she had never expected such a development.
As for Miyamoto Sei, he was terrified.
He never thought that he would have a chance to become a formal member. He could clearly prepare to leave after the general election. However, if he became a formal member, then leaving would be different from that of ordinary people. It would be called graduation, and the treatment of formal members was different from that of graduate students!
"Can I really upgrade?!" Mika Komatsu leaned forward slightly. If the clothes she was wearing weren't rather thick, this action would definitely expose part of her chest in the summer.
"In fact, it has been decided that Yokoyama Nai, who was on the graduate team, will be promoted to Team K, replacing Ono Erena, who graduated some time ago. Kojima Haruka's promotion has also been confirmed, including several other people, such as Okawa Mimi."
Tian Beilisa said as she handed a form to the three people. When they looked at it, they saw that all the people on it were about to be promoted, and almost all of them were seniors.
Except for one person.
Mika Komatsu.
Yes, excluding the ninth term students, everyone before that can be promoted, but only Mika Komatsu is not on the list.
Seeing this scene, Komatsu Mika's face turned pale, as if it was saying that she was not qualified.
"Ono-senpai graduated and left his position vacant. I don't think there is any problem in letting Nai-chan take over. Her efforts are worth the reward. Her level of replacing Kato-senpai is obvious to all."
Miyamoto Seo gently patted Komatsu Mika's hand on the table to prevent her from getting angry and saying something unpleasant, and then he spoke up himself.
"But this is because there are vacancies. So if so many people are promoted at once, will there be many people graduating soon?"
"No, in fact, although they will announce the promotion, they will still stay in the graduate student team for the time being. I can't reveal the specific plan to you. After all, they are still thinking about it and can't be sure whether to do so."
Amei Risa actually gave a brief explanation. Although the explanation was not much, it was enough for Miyamoto Sei to make some guesses.
No one has graduated, but many people are being promoted. There is only one most reasonable explanation for this behavior. Maybe a new team will be added, and in the future there will no longer be three SKR teams, but one more.
There are 21 graduate students in total, 9 of which are from the ninth term. Excluding Yokoyama Nai, who replaced Ono Erena of Team K, there are a total of 10 people who are not official members of the team after the promotion, and 10 graduate students who have not been promoted.
But why is Komatsu Mika not in this? If a new team is formed, wouldn’t it be great if there is a strong enough person in it? More importantly, Komatsu Mika is not the ninth generation!
But asking this question would seem to be completely directed at Mika Komatsu, and since the other party has called the three of them over together, the most suitable way to ask now is another one.
"So what is the purpose of the three of us coming here? After all, we are not on this list, and what you said just now, Mr. Tianbei, is that this is related to our promotion. If there is no promotion, there should be no need to call us here."
We, of course, also include Mika Komatsu.
Mika Komatsu also held her breath and looked at Amarisa, hoping to get an explanation.
It is very hurtful when your efforts are not recognized, especially when your efforts are very strong.
"They were promoted because it's time for them to be promoted. Being a graduate student for too long is not good for the mental stress." Tian Beilisha smiled: "And their abilities are indeed good. Especially with your help, they have grown very well."
This sounds like saying that Komatsu Mika's mental endurance is stronger, so she has to be suppressed.
"Okay, stop staring at me like that. Actually, you three also have the opportunity to be promoted, but you have to seize this opportunity to be promoted quickly."
Tian Beilisha smiled, as if she was talking about some fun game: "Of course, if you don't want to, you can also wait and wait for others to graduate."
Miyamoto knew Amber Lisa's bad character better than the other two, so he didn't intend to let her continue talking like this: "Just tell me your purpose. You have a performance later."
"check it out."
So a document was delivered to several people, and the three of them were stunned when they saw the words on it.
"Two-dimensional idol project?" Yongan Meixi read out the words above and blinked in confusion, still unable to figure out what was going on.
"Could it be..." Komatsu Mika immediately looked at Tenbelisha. Unlike the lost and pale look at the beginning, there was a fire in her eyes at this time: "Are you going to let the three of us carry out this plan?"
After all, Miyamoto Sei is also a time traveler and has watched quite a few anime dramas, so he immediately understood what Amarisa Tenbe meant.
"You mean, you want us to voice the characters in idol shows and sing?"
"That's right, a new project. The three of you will form a new unit. There will be 14 episodes of animation, one single and two C/W songs (usually released with the single and will not be included in the album again). The investment cost is 2.8 million yen."
Amebe Risa said a number that made the three of them feel overwhelmed, especially Nagaan Miyu and Miyamoto Se. As for Komatsu Mika, although her family was wealthy, she claimed that she would rely on her own efforts, so naturally she couldn't ask her family for so much money.
"None of us three are professional voice actors..."
"That's not important. What's important is that you debut as a trio, build your own power in the second dimension, and then bring this power out to the third dimension."
Tian Beilisha knocked lightly on the table.
"Let me put it this way. If the single sales can reach 13 copies and the BD sales can reach 8000 copies, you can officially be promoted. As long as you accept this project, you can be promoted when the task is completed. If you are worried, we can make a written agreement."
Are you crazy!
Miyamoto Se really wanted to say this directly to Amarisa, but he tried hard to hold it back.
The sales of the three people's singles reached 13 copies, which is a terribly high requirement. As for the BD sales of 8000 copies, this is also very high.
As a two-dimensional otaku, Miyamoto Sei also knows something about these things. Generally speaking, if the BD sales volume reaches 2000 copies, the investment can be recovered. If it reaches 3000 copies, there will be some profit. If it reaches 6000 copies, the manufacturer will consider releasing the second season.
If it sold 8000 copies, it would be considered a hit and a very good-selling work. As for anything above that, there's no need to talk about things like big sellers or masterpieces.
"This is a one-way street. Once you choose it, there is no turning back. But if you succeed, you will be the first group to debut directly as graduate students, and you will have a good level of performance. This will be a great asset for you to become a formal member."
Tenbe Lisa looked at Miyamoto Sei and the other three, waiting for their answer.
Miyamoto Sei couldn't help but take a breath. The other party's words were full of temptation. As long as he could achieve the goal, he could be upgraded. And because the goal was to reach this number, it would not be based on the first week sales requirement. It would continue to sell. In other words, even if it took three years, as long as it was sold out within three years, he could be upgraded.
Of course, three years is too long, and it cannot reflect sufficient strength. If it is a cool novel, this requirement can naturally be met directly by the first week sales.
But there is also a danger. Maybe I will become the oldest graduate student, or even be a graduate student for my whole life...
How to choose?
Miyamoto Se looked at the other two, wanting to see what they thought.
There is fighting spirit in Mika Komatsu's eyes. For her, this is a challenge that she must overcome.
Because this is the opportunity to officially debut!
Nagaan Miyu seemed a little hesitant, but when she looked at Miyamoto Se and Komatsu Mika, her eyes became determined.
"I-I can do it!"
"That's fine with me too." said Mika Komatsu.
"Then it's just you left, Miyamoto." Amei Lisa looked at Miyamoto Se, waiting for his answer.
Both of them have made their choices, and they have bravely made such desperate choices. Miyamoto Se knew that he should also make a choice, so he took a step forward and his eyes became extremely determined.
“We accept the challenge!”
"Very good. Then the news about your group will be announced in a few days. It is a secret for now. No one except the insiders knows about it." Tian Beilisha said, looking at the few people: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I have it." Miyamoto raised his hand: "I want to ask, could it be that the dance moves are in 3D?"
"Well, generally speaking, the dances in idol shows are indeed 3D. What's wrong with that?"
"Can we change it to hand-drawn?" Miyamoto Se said directly: "3D has a great impact on the senses. It will be better if we take a picture first and then let the artist draw it by hand!"
"Your request is really..." Tenbe Lisa looked at Miyamoto Sei who made a rather ridiculous request, looked at his almost unyielding eyes, and finally shrugged: "Okay, then add 5 million yen to each episode. So, the total investment is 3.5 million yen, which is a huge investment!"
Generally speaking, the cost of producing an episode of good quality animation is around 1500 million yen to 2000 million yen. With an investment of 3.5 million yen, in other words, the investment for each of the 14 episodes of animation in this project is 2500 million yen, which can be said to be a huge amount of money.
Miyamoto Seto didn't expect that Amagi Risa not only agreed to his request, but also directly added investment. Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Miyamoto Seto suddenly felt uneasy. If the investment failed, wouldn't he also be blamed?
After all, because of his talkativeness, another 7 million yen was added.
Now that the work was done, it was time to leave. However, just as they were about to leave, Amebarisa suddenly left Miyamoto alone.
"What do you think of Kojima Haruka as the Center?"
She looked at Miyamoto Se and asked.
When Miyamoto Ze heard the other party ask this, he felt more and more certain about his guess.
Tian Bei Lisa is really planning to form a new team!
Chapter 2 Barrier
"What? Let graduate students form a unit and then let them release a single?"
At the place where the official members of SKR were, Sakagami Minami and others were shocked by the news.
It can be said that this news is more surprising than a group of graduate students being promoted to formal members.
"A group of people who haven't become official members formed a unit and debuted. This is a real debut. It's completely different from the last time they performed at Shibuya Kodo and released a single for graduate students!"
Sakagami Minami said this with a serious expression.
"And Nana is the only one who kisses these three. Why put such a huge pressure on them?"
"It's indeed a lot of pressure, but believe them, these kids' passion for the idol profession is definitely not fake." The person behind her said this, gently patting Sakagami Minami's head.
Sakagami Minami turned around and saw Azuma Ogiko standing behind her with a smile.
"The limit of what she can bear is definitely many times, many times more than the current pressure. After all, she is a man."
"Eh? A man?" Sakagami Minami looked at Tokugaze Ogi with some confusion. Tokugaze Ogi said naturally, "She said it herself. She said she was a boy, wasn't she?"
